Comments by "Hanna Cook" (@hannacook859) on "ADHD: Signs, Symptoms, Solutions" video.

I love how they describe ADHD as a mental disorder, disability, disfunctional, unlikable, underachieving excuse of human being while Asperger's are described as all geniuses, misunderstood, exceptional people that the world must never change but the world must change to adjust to them. The fact is: ADHD is a brain that has a problem filtering inputs, all the rest are symptoms and adaptations stemming from that exact one issue And the autistic spectrum is a brain that is over filtering signals, not as inputs but during processing time., all behaviours stem from that. The two are so very close, but one is so supported, and the other is making people fair targets to be dehumanised. Asperger's are just different and must be accepted ADHD have a mental disorders and must be changed Asperger's is not a disease and can not be cured ADHD must take medication and go to therapy as soon as possible to stop what they are Asperger's are "geniuses" ADHD are failures at school Those are absolutely wrong, absolutely demoralising, absolutely dehumanising, and absolutely bias, hurtful and harmful You have an excellent video about the Pygmalion effect, now sprouts, how do you think those two very different video for two very similar conditions is applying the Pygmalion effect, and is that really what you want to do? I recommend you read the book driven to distraction by two doctors with ADHD (Edward M Hallowell and John J Ratey) And I hope you update this video with something less harmful and more accurate.

Read driven to distraction, that will help you understand yourself, videos like this are vile and destroy the self esteem of people with ADHD as well as turn people without ADHD to behave in a discriminatory, dismissive, arrogant, demeaning way towards people with ADHD, read the book, you will get a good picture of what ADHD really is (it was written by two doctors with ADHD) and will help you know that this video and people that talk like this are in the wrong and offensive

@kfizzledizzle8467 I don't care one bit about a person's problems when he starts his comment with othering people. Also, he sounds very intellectually challenged, if I could pass with high marks classes in uni by reading a book, him struggling with a very simple English class in highschool sounds like he is just a moron blaming others for his problems while at the same breath denying them of their right to exist, demanding they should be kept away and othering them. So no, I do not have empathy for him.

@Rhino11111111 yes, sounds like people like you should be put in a special room with a lot of help, normal people can pass exams in a normal room but maybe you need extra help... They should really have put you in special ed so you can get the support you needed, I am sorry that you had to endure such challenges to your fragile intellect and we are all very proud of you for managing to learn how to read despite having people that are not like you in the room, who knows? Maybe one day you will learn to cross the road by your own. Never stop dreaming, Never stop blaming others for your lack abilities.
